You will any of these:
- A gameserver host, someone who leases gameservers for a price per month. This will sometimes come with webhosting, FTP access and an online control panel.
- A VPS host, a provider who leases virtual private servers that act as terminal servers. This requires more work as programs must be managed by you, though you get more memory/space usually than gameservers.
- A dedicated server host, a rented machine that acts similar to a VPS but with powerful hardware installed. This gives you full access, without sharing resources with other VPS clients.
- Home host, run the server on your network. This requires a static IP address, port forwarding any network adapters (routers, switches, etc) and requires a computer to be left switched on 24/7
